What parts of chromosomes are visible in nondividing cells?

In nondividing cells, the condensed parts of chromosomes that are visible are the chromatin material, consisting of DNA and proteins. The chromatin is organized into distinct structures called chromatin bodies or chromocenters. These structures are regions where specific genes or DNA sequences are actively or passively transcribed.

What forms does DNA appears in the nucleus?

The nucleus contains chromosomes,which are visible as rod-shaped structures only when the cell is about to divide .Chromosomes contain information for inheritance of features from parents to next generation in the form of DNA (Deoxyribo Nucleic Acid) molecules. Chromosomes are composed of DNA and protein. DNA molecules contain the information necessary for constructing and organising cells.Functional segments are called genes. In a cell which is not dividing, this DNA is present as part of chromatin material.Chromatin material is visible as entangled mass of thread like structures. Whenever the cell is about to divide, the chromatin material gets organised into chromosomes.
